as a member of the 61st Texas Game Warden and State Park Police
Officer Cadet Class on August 1, 2017; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Texas State Park Police are
tasked with maintaining the overall safety and security of state

emergency management operations as well as public outreach
programs; and
WHEREAS, Officer Voigt took the first step in his new career
when he became one of only a small number of applicants to be

Center in Hamilton County; over the span of the 30 weeks he spent at
the center, he completed course work in a range of subjects and
received in-depth training in such areas as first aid,
self-defense, and firearms; following his commissioning, he was
assigned to work at Palo Duro Canyon State Park; and
WHEREAS, The men and women who become Texas Park Police
officers play an essential role in protecting our public lands and
the members of the public who visit these popular attractions, and

group be recognized; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
